Former Bradford Woman Attempts Suicide
in Buffalo's Erie County Holding Center
A former Bradford woman accused of trying to suffocate her infant daughter is hospitalized in critical condition after trying to kill herself at the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo.
29-year-old Marcia Mitchell apparently swallowed a bottle of aspirin that she somehow got her hands on. Officials say the aspirin attacked her organs.
Mitchell, who had been living in Batavia, is accused of trying to suffocate her infant daughter in a Buffalo hospital room in May of 2008. After she was indicted in December 2008, her attorney said she was deteriorating physically and emotionally in the holding center because she misses her children.
She hasn't been able to post bail.
